Politi is a look at me ass clown.
Hypothetical question, and I know nothing about what happened (nor does anyone else except for Pat and the alleged other party)--is it an "abuse" of the position if the other person made the move and both were willing participants? Sure, it's an offense the demands dismissal under the published parts of University policy, but I would not say it is an abuse of his position. It takes two to tango.
Fair enough, but ultimately, he did "recuse himself from employment related decisions affecting that employee." He effectively fixed the glitch. It just took him a while to do it. 😉

We should strive to avoid the phrases "flesh out" and "feel out" with respect to this discussion.
Agreed. But it would be nice if we could strip out the innuendos and focus just on the bare naked facts so that we could put our finger on the button of what really happened.
IDK, this seems like a smoking gun?
congrats for being the first one to use a gif from The Amanda show on this board!IDK, this seems like a smoking gun?
"Hobbs participated in a tarot card reading during a social event for the athletic department last winter and was asked about the most important thing in life, as two gymnasts recalled to the outlet.
The former athletic director looked at Salim-Beasley and said “love.”"
“It was so weird,” one gymnast told the publication. “It’s really hard to put into words, but they were staring each other in the eye, sitting right next to each other. You could feel some type of tension between them. All my teammates looked at each other with the weirdest look like, ‘What is going on here?’”
He attended the team’s Fish MLK Jr. Invitational in January of this year, and the two laughed after passing a heart-shaped sign that read, “Love You, Pat,” per the report.
“We were like, ‘That’s really weird,’” one gymnast told the outlet.
The first thing I said to him was: ‘I need you to set any personal relationship you have with Umme aside and listen to me as your student-athlete,’” one gymnast told the outlet. “He goes ‘What are you talking about? Personal relationship? That’s not true.’ If you’re getting defensive, that makes it seem true.”
Another said: “At first, he said that he did not have a personal relationship with Umme, but then he said that he had a personal relationship with all the head coaches. So which one is it, buddy?”
..as two gymnasts recalled to the outlet....
disgruntled ones too.
But at the same time, the athletes were bitching up a storm to Hobbs privately that they were being abused by the coach. If he didn't attend more gymnastic events (including away meets), they'd be complaining that he didn't take them seriously and investigate the matter for himself. He was in a catch-22 where no matter what he did, it was "evidence" he was a bad actor.
Drive on the Conn Turnpike, you will hardly see a UConn sticker on a vehicle. It’s pathetic!
He has that squeaky, high-pitched voice.
My son goes to Quinnipiac. Several trips up there, have never seen a UConn or Huskies anything. It's as if they don't exist.
That's grabbing the bull by the horns 😁
Et tu al?That's grabbing the bull by the horns 😁
Love these paywall articles being put up ,without the poster even giving his/her take on it,
When your coach is 2-43 in the BIG and her salary has increased from 95k to 165k to be the third highest paid coach in the conference while you are having an affair with her you have to question it. It looks awful suspicious when it your boyfriend who giving you those raises.
On the surface, yes. What did her contract say? Maybe those were prenegotiated.
According to the article “year to year increases in base salary shall be paid solely upon a determination by the Director of Athletics”
I'm not defending Pat, but read somewhere while the W-L for gymnastics were not good, there were significant improvements in the program. I know nothing about gymnastics and how to measure improvements beyond W-L. In a similar circumstance, RU volleyball has a horrible W-L record, but they appear to be making strides and not losing B1G matches 3-0. This is all a big nothingburger to me. He resigned, he's gone and it seems like a lot of yardbirds chirping over the cat that left the yard and how mean the other cat was to them.
Another epic whiff by @RUGiddy777 Same poster who was forced to change his name after idolizing Diddy.
